Voltage Control

The output voltage of the rectifiers is controlled by a number of control processes. The following diagram shows the various control processes, measured values and operating values that determine the rectifier output voltage.

If ac fails then any active control process stops. No control process can start until the ac supply is restored.

Float Voltage

Configuration

Set the following parameter.


Float Voltage Set to the voltage required to maintain optimum battery charge (at the nominal ambient temperature*) as specified by the battery manufacturer. The bus voltage may be adjusted above or below this value by the System Control Processes.

*This is the same as the Reference Temperature used by Temperature Compensation. See details on page 27.

SC200: Control Processes > Voltage Control > Float Voltage

DCTools/Web: Control Processes > Voltage Control

The system voltage is limited by maximum and minimum values. The values are viewable in DCTools/Web at Control Processes > Voltage Control. These values are not configurable.

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 21

Active Voltage Control (AVC)

Active Voltage Control maintains a constant float voltage under varying load current by monitoring the bus voltage and adjusting the rectifier output voltage to compensate for any voltage drop. This prevents undercharging the batteries during high load demand.

► To enable Active Voltage Control

Use the SC200 keypad to go to: Control Processes > Voltage Control > AVC.

Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Control Processes > Voltage Control > Active Voltage Control.

Active Voltage Control is normally enabled. Only disable if there are particular reasons.

Information

The following information is available about AVC.


State Indicates if AVC is active or inactive.

DCTools/Web: Control Processes > Active Voltage Control

Target Voltage AVC will set the Base Voltage to attempt to maintain the bus voltage to this value.

Voltage Offset The difference between the Base Voltage and the Target Voltage.

Battery Current Limit (BCL)

Battery Current Limit automatically limits the battery recharge current to:

Prevent excessive battery charge current in under-loaded systems

Minimize gas release in VRLA batteries

Reduce the load on a standby generator.

Two current limit values can be set (both are a percentage of the C10 rating of the battery):

Battery Current Limit (Normal Limit):

BCL value for use when utility ac is available.

Engine Run Limit (optional): BCL value for use when ac is supplied by a standby generator. This reduces the load on the generator and allows a smaller generator to be used.

Engine Run Limit is activated by a signal from an ac standby generator.

► To enable BCL

Use the SC200 keypad to go to: Control Processes > Battery Current Limit.

Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Control Processes > Battery Current Limit.

► To activate Engine Run BCL

Connect a voltage free relay contact (that will operate when the standby generator starts) to a Digital Input.

In DCTools/Web go to Digital Inputs.

Configure the selected Digital Input and set Function to Engine Run.

In DCTools/Web go to Control Processes > Battery Current Limit and set the Engine Run Limit.

Engine Run State Indicates if Engine Run BCL is active. DCTools/Web: Control Processes > Battery Current Limit

Voltage Offset The bus voltage adjustment made by Battery Current Limit is applied to the Operating Voltage to produce the Target Voltage. Target Voltage is used as the input to the AVC function.

Configuration

Set the following parameters.


Battery Capacity Set to the rated 10 hour capacity of the installed battery strings. Zero means no battery is installed.

SC200: Battery > Battery > Battery Capacity

DCTools/Web: Batteries

Current Limit BCL maintains the battery current below this value, which is a percentage of the installed C10 Battery Capacity.

DCTools/Web: Control Processes > Battery Current Limit

Engine Run Limit The Battery Current Limit setting when Engine Run is active. BCL maintains the battery current below this value when the engine run digital input is active (engine run is enabled). This limit is expressed as a percentage of the installed C10 Battery Capacity.

Battery Test

Battery Test is a preventative maintenance tool that monitors the discharge capabilities to ensure that the condition of the battery has not deteriorated over time.

The SC200 temporarily reduces the output voltage of the rectifiers to just below the bus voltage for a set duration. The battery then supplies power to the load. A battery test passes if the battery voltage remains above a predetermined level for the duration of the test.

Battery Tests can be scheduled to occur at regular intervals, and/or can be started/stopped manually, and/or can be started by an external relay contact or switch.

Battery Test does NOT function during a Fast Charge or Equalize, or during the lock-out period after an ac supply failure.

If a Digital Input has the function "Start Battery Test" then a Battery Test will start when the Digital Input becomes active.

► To enable Battery Test (or to start or stop a test manually)

Use the SC200 keypad to go to: Control Processes > Battery Test.

Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Control Processes > Battery Test

Termination Voltage

If the bus voltages drops below this value during a Battery Test, then the test fails.

SC200 Handbook


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011

Equalize

Equalize charges batteries at a higher voltage after they have been fully charged to ensure that all individual cell voltages are the same, that electrolyte is distributed evenly, and that sulfate crystal buildup on the plates is reduced.

Equalize can be scheduled to occur at regular intervals and/or can be started/stopped manually.

Refer to the battery manufacturer's instructions before using Equalize.

If a Digital Input has the function "Start Equalize" then a manual equalize cycle will start when the Digital Input becomes active.

If Equalize cannot start at the scheduled time (for example when there is no ac supply) then its state will be Pending and it will start as soon as conditions allow. Use Stop Equalize to cancel a Pending Equalize.

► To enable Equalize (or to start or stop Equalize manually)

Use the SC200 keypad to go to: Control Processes > Equalize.

Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Control Processes > Equalize.

IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 31

Load Based Rectifier Shutdown


If Load Based Rectifier Shutdown (LBRS) is enabled then the SC200 automatically shuts down rectifiers when the total load current is significantly less than the total rectifier capacity.

This raises the average load on the remaining rectifiers which will then operate at a higher efficiency. This results in a decrease in system power consumption.

The run time of all rectifiers is recorded and balanced to ensure even aging.

The SC200 will progressively restart rectifiers if the load increases.

Rectifiers shut down by LBRS will have the yellow LED on.

At least two rectifiers will always be on to maintain N+1 rectifier redundancy. Therefore, LBRS has no effect in dc power systems with only one or two rectifiers.

The SC200 will automatically restart all rectifiers if ac supply has failed, or more than one rectifier has failed, or the bus voltage is below the Low Load threshold, or Battery Test / Equalize / Fast Charge are active.

► To enable Load Based Rectifier Shutdown

Use the SC200 keypad to go to: Control Processes > Load Based Rectifier Shutdown.

Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Rectifiers > Load Based Rectifier Shutdown

Ensure that Rectifier Start Up Delay is less than 30 seconds. See information on page 29. LBRS will not function correctly if the start up delay is more than 30 seconds.

Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)

Low Voltage Disconnects may be connected either as load disconnect or battery disconnect depending on the dc power system model. They have two purposes:

to protect a VRLA battery from deep discharge and premature failure, and/or

to reduce the load on a battery under discharge so that high priority equipment operates for a longer time after an ac supply failure.

The SC200 has 16 independent LVD control channels (LVD 1 to LVD 16). Each channel can control one or more of up to 16 contactors, with coil voltages from 12V to 48V nominal.

There are two contactor connectors on an IOBGP input/output board. Additional contactors are controlled by additional IOBGP-01 input/output boards. If required, refer to the dc power system Installation and Operation Guide for details on how to connect additional IOBGP-01 input/output boards to the SC200.

LVD Disconnect Modes

The LVD control channels can have any combination of the following modes of operation:

1 Voltage Based Disconnect: The LVD control channel will disconnect its contactor(s) based on the bus voltage.

2 AC Timer Based Disconnect: The LVD control channel will disconnect its contactor(s) after a specified period of ac supply failure.

3 Smart Alarm Disconnect: The LVD control channel will disconnect its contactor(s) according to the state of a specified Smart Alarm. See Smart Alarm Disconnect on page 38.

CAUTION: An unnecessary LVD disconnection may occur if the Smart Alarm uses a sensor or other input device which becomes faulty or disconnected.

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 33

If Chained to Previous is enabled, the LVD control channel will only disconnect its contactor(s) if one of its disconnect conditions is True, and the preceding control channel has been disconnected for the Recognition Time.

Chained to Previous does not apply to LVD 1.

LVD Default and Custom Configuration

If factory-fitted in the dc power system, the LVD contactors will be characterized and the LVD control channels will have default configuration settings for Voltage Based Disconnect. Custom configuration will only be necessary if:

contactors are connected to the dc power system on site (see LVD Characterization on page 34 and LVD Setup on page 35)

different disconnect conditions are required (see LVD Configuration on page 37).

Typical LVD Arrangements

The simplest use of an LVD is a single battery disconnect contactor.

The following diagram shows a typical arrangement of two LVDs. This arrangement allows lower priority loads to be disconnected first (contactor controlled by control channel LVD 1), either at a specified battery voltage or a specified time interval after an ac supply failure. This then prolongs battery power for the highest priority loads (contactor controlled by control channel LVD 2). The battery will be disconnected when the battery voltage reaches its minimum preset voltage.

Contactor controlled by LVD 1 - low priority load disconnect (disconnects first).

Contactor controlled by LVD 2 - battery disconnect (only disconnects after LVD 1)

Connections to high priority loads (for example transmission equipment).

Connections to low priority loads.

Connection to the SC200 system controller via the I/O board.

More complex arrangements with up to 16 contactors and a selection of disconnection criteria, are possible with the SC200 system controller. The exact arrangement(s) used in a particular Eaton dc power system will be described in the Installation and Operation Guide.

SC200 Handbook


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011

Characterization

If auxiliary contacts are fitted to the LVD contactor(s)*, then the LVD Characterization process determines the optimum operating voltages to suit the contactor(s) coil voltage. These values are stored in the SC200 and on the I/O board.

An LVD Characterization Error alarm will be activated if the SC200 detects that the characterization values stored in the SC200 and on the I/O board are different. This happens when:

The SC200 is replaced. To clear the alarm, on the SC200 select Use IOB Values.

The I/O Board is replaced. To clear the alarm, on the SC200 select Use SC Values.

Both the SC200 and the I/O Board are replaced. In this case, re-characterize the contactor(s).

When a contactor is re-characterized it will disconnect and re-connect several times. Refer to Maintenance in the dc power system Installation and Operation Guide for full instructions.

Factory-fitted contactors will be characterized at the factory. If an existing contactor is replaced, characterize the new contactor from the SC200.

In this case, there will be no LVD Characterization Error alarm.

LVD Operation

► To allow access to LVD functions from the SC200 keypad

In DCTools/Web go to: Control Processes > LVD.

High or Low Threshold

The following alarms have a high or low threshold: High Float, Low Float, High Load, Low Load, Battery Temperature High, Battery Temperature Low.

The alarm will be activated if the measured value is above or below this value, as applicable.

Enable High Float Tracking

If enabled, the High Float alarm threshold will be increased when the operating voltage is increased by a voltage control process.

Enable Low Float Tracking

If enabled, the Low Float alarm threshold will be decreased when the operating voltage is decreased by a voltage control process.

The following system alarms have particular configuration settings:

System Overload alarm. See details on page 42.

Battery Mid-point monitoring. See details on page 50.

System Overload Alarm

The System Overload alarm activates if the total system load exceeds a percentage of the installed rectifier capacity for a specified period. This indicates that additional rectifiers need to be installed. This is useful at sites where there is ongoing installation of additional load equipment.

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 43

► To enable System Overload

In DCTools/Web go to: Alarms > Alarm States. Enable and configure System Overload alarm. See System Alarm Configuration on page 42.

Configuration



System Overload alarm parameters

See System Alarm Configuration on page 42. DCTools/Web: Alarms > Alarm States

System Overload Threshold

The System Overload alarm activates if the load is above this threshold continuously for the System Overload Recognition Period. Measured as a percentage of total rectifier capacity.


System Overload Recognition Period

The System Overload alarm activates if the load is above the threshold continuously for this time. It is normally set to several hours so that the alarm does not operate during a normal battery recharge.

System Overload Type

The System Overload alarm can be based on either Total Capacity or Redundancy.

If the system overload type is based on Total Capacity then the alarm will trigger when the load is above the System Overload Threshold for the System Overload Recognition Period.

If the system overload type is Redundancy then the alarm will trigger when the load is above the total current capacity of the system minus the current capacity of the largest rectifier, for the System Overload Recognition Period.

An alarm will always activate if the system overload type is set to Redundancy when there is only one rectifier installed.

Smart Alarms

Smart Alarms are a software simulation of logic gates to allow the logical combination of other alarms, time schedules and/or system values. Up to 32 Smart Alarms can be configured.

A single Smart Alarm is the equivalent of a multi-input AND, OR or XOR logic gate. More complex logic arrangements are created by using one Smart Alarm as an input into another. For example:

Two input AND gate:

SAx = Sa AND Sb

Three input OR gate:

SAy = Sa OR Sb OR Sc

Multi-gate logic:

SAz = SAx OR NOT Sd

One input is Smart Alarm SAx (output from another gate). The other input is negated. This is available with Alarm Sources only.

Key:

SAx, SAy, SAz are Smart Alarms (entered in the Smart Alarms table).

Sa, Sb, Sc, Sd are the Sources (entered in the Alarm Sources, Schedule Sources or System Value Sources tables).

Smart Alarms also have optional activation and deactivation delays. When activated they can cause alarm indications (unless Severity is set to Control) and can activate one or two digital outputs (in the same way as other alarms).

For more information and application examples contact your Eaton DC product supplier and request Eaton Application Note AN0106, SC200 Version 3 Advanced Alarm Features.

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 45

Sources

The inputs to Smart Alarms are called Sources.

Sources can be any combination of:

Alarm Sources (up to 64):

System Alarms, Analog Input High alarms, Analog Input Low alarms, Digital Input alarms, Other Smart Alarms

Alarm Sources can either use the alarm’s recognition period,or be triggered immediately. Alarm Sources can also be triggered either when the source alarm becomes active or when it becomes inactive.

Battery Mid-point Monitoring (MPM)

Battery Mid-point Monitoring provides a cost-effective method for the early detection of internal battery faults. The voltages of the two halves of a battery string are measured and the system controller generates an alarm signal if a voltage imbalance is detected.

A voltage imbalance is an indication that one or more cells has an internal fault. Further investigation can then isolate the faulty cell(s) and action can be taken to correct the problem and prevent a total battery failure.

To connect Battery Mid-point Monitoring see details in the dc power system installation guide. If a String Fail alarm is generated see Troubleshooting on page 88.

To ensure reliable operation Mid-point Monitoring operates only when the battery is in float charge and after a configurable lockout period since the last battery discharge, Fast Charge, Equalize or Battery Test.

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 51

► To enable Battery Mid-point Monitoring (MPM)

The following information is available about Battery Mid-point Monitoring.


MPM State Disabled: MPM is Disabled.

Unable To Start: MPM is Enabled but either: Cells per String is zero; the bus voltage sensor has failed; ac supply has failed; the battery is in discharge state; Fast Charge, Equalize or Battery Test is active; or the battery fuse has failed.

Locked Out: MPM is within the MPM Lockout Period. No String Fail alarm will become active in this period.

Converging: MPM is outside the MPM Lockout Period but is within MPM Convergence Period.

Stable: MPM is outside the MPM Convergence Period.

SC200: Battery > MPM

DCTools/Web: Batteries > Mid-point Monitoring

Time In This State The time period MPM has been in the current state.

Current MPM Threshold

When MPM state is Converging this value is between MPM Start Threshold and MPM Stable Threshold. When MPM state is Stable this value is the MPM Stable Threshold.

Reference Voltage The calculated mid-point reference voltage (50% of the bus voltage for even number of cells).

String State OK: MPM is in the state Converging or Stable and the string's Imbalance is below the current threshold.

Unavailable: The MPM is not in state Converging or Stable, or the string's mid-point voltage is unavailable.

Pending Fail: The string's Imbalance is above the current threshold, but has not yet been so continuously for the String Fail Recognition Period.

Fail: The string's Imbalance has been above the Current MPM Threshold for longer than the String Fail Recognition Period. This will activate a String Fail alarm.

Not Configured: No analog input is mapped to this string.

Mid-point Voltage Shows the mid-point voltage reading for the string or N/A if no analog input channel is mapped to this string.

Imbalance The percentage imbalance of the Mid-point Voltage.

MPM Lockout Period*

Time from when MPM is able to start until the start of the MPM Convergence Period.

MPM Convergence Period*

Time from the end of the MPM Lockout Period until MPM State is Stable. During this period the Current MPM Threshold is calculated using linear interpolation between Start Threshold and Stable Threshold and the MPM State is defined as Converging. After this period the MPM State is defined as Stable and the MPM Stable Threshold applies.

String Fail Recognition Period

If the mid-point Imbalance percent of a battery string exceeds the MPM Threshold for this period of time the String State is set to Fail and the String Fail alarm is activated.

MPM Start Threshold*

Mid-point Imbalance percent threshold at the start of the MPM Convergence Period.

MPM Stable Threshold*

Mid-point Imbalance percent threshold after the convergence period.

* A dynamic alarm threshold is used to give the best possible battery fault detection:

1 After the end of a discharge, Fast Charge or Equalize cycle, MPM does not start until the end of the MPM Lockout Period, to ensure the system is in float charge.

2 At this point, the battery cell voltages are expected to be widely spread, so the alarm threshold is set high (MPM Start Threshold).

3 The alarm threshold is then progressively reduced over the MPM Convergence Period.

4 After the end of the MPM Convergence Period, cell imbalance is assumed to be stable, and a fixed threshold is used (MPM Stable Threshold).

IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011

Battery Time Remaining

The SC200 obtains characterization data from every full battery discharge, to a specified end voltage.

During a battery discharge, the SC200 uses this characterization data to calculate an estimated time until the battery will reach the specified end voltage.

If a battery disconnect LVD is fitted then the end voltage will usually be the voltage at which the LVD disconnects the battery.

Battery Time Remaining is designed for a constant power load. The accuracy of the time remaining calculation will be reduced if the dc power system is connected to a predominantly resistive (constant current) load.

The time remaining calculation will not be correct if a non-essential load is disconnected during the battery discharge.

The following information is available about Battery Time Remaining.


Battery Time Remaining*

During a battery discharge, this is the estimated time until the battery voltage will be equal to the End Voltage, at the present battery current. Time Remaining will be re-calculated if the load current varies during discharge (for example, when a load disconnect LVD operates).

SC200: Menu > Controls > Batt Time Remaining


Estimated State of Charge (SOC)*

The estimated charge left in the battery (Ah).

*Values of Battery Time Remaining and SOC are only available during a discharge and if the battery has been characterized. The values will be N/A when the Battery Charge State is Floating or Charge, or if the battery has not been characterized. See Battery Characterization.

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 55

Configuration

It will take at least 10 hours to characterize a battery.

When a battery is characterized it is discharged. The bus voltage will gradually reduce to the battery end voltage. Ensure that this will not affect the operation of any equipment connected to the dc power system.

Use the following procedure to configure Battery Time Remaining for the first time, or if a previously characterized battery is changed.

Battery Characterization is not necessary if a previously saved battery characterization data file is available. Refer to Characterization Data Management on page 58. Only use characterization data for an identical type and size of battery.

► To configure Battery Time Remaining

1 Check that all battery strings are connected and all LVD contactors (if any) are connected.

During a battery characterization, LVD contactor disconnection is inhibited. If any LVD contactor is configured to connect during a battery discharge then set it to Manual Connect to prevent operation during the battery characterization.

2 Check that all battery strings are fully charged.

When a battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge State will be Float and Ah Discharged will be zero. See Batteries on page 49.

3 Check that all battery parameters are set to the correct values. See Batteries Configuration on page 50.

4 Check that the load current is at least 2% of the C10 capacity of the batteries (Battery Capacity) and 150% of the Battery State Threshold. See Batteries Configuration on page 50.

If the load current is less than 10% of the C10 capacity of the batteries, then Battery Characterization will take longer than 10 hours.

5 Either, in DCTools/Web go to Batteries > Battery Time Remaining, or use the SC200 keypad to go to Battery. Set End Voltage to the voltage per cell when the battery is regarded as fully discharged.

In general set the end voltage to the same value as for the LVD Disconnect Voltage (see LVD Configuration on page 37). End Voltage must be at least 0.02V/Cell above the Minimum System Voltage (per cell). The Minimum System Voltage is viewable in DCTools/Web at Control Processes. It is not configurable.

6 Enable Battery Current Limit (see details on page 21).

► To Characterize the Battery

1 Either:

Manually start a Characterization: On the SC200 go to: Battery > Characterize > Start. Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Battery > Battery Time Remaining. Click Characterize.

If "Characterize" is not present on the SC200 or the "Characterize" button is inactive in DCTools/Web, then check all configuration settings. In DCTools/Web, the hover text will indicate why the characterization cannot start.

Or, use Automatic Characterization to start a characterization automatically when all conditions are correct and stable: In DCTools/Web go to: Battery > Battery Time Remaining. Set Automatic Characterization to Enabled and set Automatic Characterization Delay to the required time that the conditions must be stable.

2 The characterization process will take at least 10 hours, depending on the load current.

During characterization the rectifier output voltage is varied to maintain a constant power discharge.

3 When the characterization has finished, the Characterization Result will be Updated.

If any other Characterization Result is shown, refer to BTR Operation on page 57.

4 The rectifiers will return to float voltage and the battery will start to recharge. If required, start a manual Equalize (see details on page 24) to reduce the battery recharge time.

5 Restore any changed LVD operation back to the original settings. If no longer required, disable Battery Current Limit.

Battery Time Remaining is now operational. During any battery discharge an estimate of time remaining will be displayed.

IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 57

Operation

The following information is available about Battery Time Remaining.


Time Remaining During a battery discharge, this is the estimated time until the battery voltage will be equal to the End Voltage, at the present battery current. Time remaining will be re-calculated if the load current varies during discharge (for example, when a load disconnect LVD operates).

Time Remaining is only available when Battery Time Remaining State is Active.

SC200: Battery


Battery State Of Health

The approximate battery capacity measured during the last battery characterization, as a percentage of the configured Battery Capacity.


State Inoperative: The battery characterization data is not loaded, End Voltage is below the characterization end point, or the bus voltage or battery current is unavailable.

Inactive: Battery Charge State is Float or Charge.

See Battery Charge State on page 49.

Characterizing: Battery characterization is in progress.

Active: The battery has been characterized and Battery Charge State is Discharge.

See Battery Charge State on page 49.

SC200: Battery

DCTools/Web: Batteries > Battery Time Remaining

Lowest End Voltage

The end voltage used for the last battery characterization.

Characterization Result

Not Yet Run: The battery has not been characterized since the last restart of the SC200.

Active: The SC200 is collecting the characterization data.

Complete: The SC200 has collected the characterization data and is updating its database.

Updated: The SC200 has updated its database.

Sensor Failed: Data from the last characterization was not saved because the bus voltage sensor failed or the battery current became unavailable.

Not Fully Charged: Characterization did not start because the battery was not fully charged when discharge started.

Unstable Battery Current Pending: The battery current has varied more than the tolerance for an accurate characterization. Characterization will continue if the battery current is in tolerance within one minute. Otherwise, data from this discharge will not be saved.

Unstable Battery Current: Data from the last characterization was not saved because the battery current varied more than the tolerance,

SC200 Handbook


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011

for more than one minute.

Voltage Step Detected: Data from the last characterization was not saved because of a change in the bus voltage (possibly caused by a load disconnect).

Canceled: Data from the last characterization was not saved because the characterization was stopped manually.

Characterization Data Management

Battery characterization data can be saved to file for later use. This is useful if several sites use batteries of the same type and size. However, characterization of each battery will provide the most accurate estimate of Time Remaining.

► To save characterization data to a file

1 In Web go to Batteries > Battery Time Remaining.

2 When the battery characterization is completed, click on Characterization Data: Download.

3 Click Save. Type a file name (*.dcf) and browse to the required location. Click Save.

► To load battery characterization data into the SC200

Use Web to restore the *.dcf (configuration fragment) file previously saved. Refer to Backup and Restore on page 18.

Reverse Battery Detection

If Reverse Battery Detection is enabled and a battery is connected with the incorrect polarity, the SC200 will:

activate a Wrong Battery Polarity alarm, and

prevent any LVD from connecting.

Reverse Battery Detection uses the battery mid-point monitoring (MPM) analog inputs on an IOBGP input/output board. Any of the mid-point monitoring analog inputs used for Reverse Battery Detection are not available for MPM (see details on page 50).

System Operation


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 59

► To enable Reverse Battery Detection

SC200 Handbook


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011

Generator Control Option

Generator Control is used to delay the start of standby ac generators until the batteries are partially discharged (rather than immediately after the ac supply fails). This can save fuel by preventing generators running during short ac supply failures. It can also be used to control a generator in a hybrid power system (cyclic charge/discharge).

Generator Control uses a digital output (relay) which is connected in series with the generator run signal of the generator controller. The relay is controlled by the Generator Enable alarm. The relay contacts interrupt the generator run signal until the Generator Enable alarm is active.

The Generator Enable alarm is activated when the ac supply fails and either the Fast Charge or Equalize control process starts (depending on the setting of the Generator Start Trigger).

The Generator Enable alarm stays active (and the generator running) until the ampere-hours recharged is enough for the battery to be fully charged, or until the maximum fast charge duration is reached.

A Generator Fail alarm is activated if the SC200 does not detect that the ac supply is present (rectifiers have turned on) after the Generator Fail Alarm Recognition Period following Generator Enable becoming active.

Communication via a Network Management System using SNMP

The SC200 system controller can be configured to allow access by a Network Management System (NMS), and/or to send alarms as SNMP traps to up to eight different SNMP trap receivers on an NMS.

► To allow NMS access to the SC200

1 Set up Ethernet Communications (see details on page 72).

2 In DCTools/Web go to Configuration > Communications > SNMP.


SNMP Access: Disabled: NMS access to the SC200 is not allowed.

All: the NMS has full access to the SC200.

Read Only: the NMS has read only access to the SC200.

V3 Only: SNMP v3 access is allowed.

Read Community, Write Community:

Do not change the default settings unless requested by the network administrator.

Authentication Password (SHA):

Only used with SNMP v3. Set if the NMS requires an authentication password.

Privacy Password (DES): Only used with SNMP v3 and if an authentication password is set. Set if the NMS uses encryption.

System Object ID: This is a unique Object Identifier that allows the NMS to identify the type of device (in this case a power system) on the network. Objects are named in the iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises (1.3.6.1.4.1) sub-tree for enterprise-specific objects. The default Object Identifier for an SC200-based dc power system is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1918.2.13 A network administrator can specify a new Object Identifier within the (1.3.6.1.4.1) sub-tree, if required.

Do not enter the sub-tree integers 1.3.6.1.4.1 into the System Object ID field.

Low Float The bus voltage is below its normal range (set by the Low Float Threshold).

Low Load The bus voltage is lower than the safe range for the load and/or battery (set by the Low Load Threshold).

LVD Characterization Error An LVD contactor must be characterized. See Low Voltage Disconnect on page 34.

LVD Disconnected An LVD contactor has disconnected the battery or load. See Low Voltage Disconnect on page 34.

LVD Fail An LVD contactor is faulty or the control cable from the I/O board is disconnected. See Low Voltage Disconnect on page 34.

LVD Manual An LVD is set to MANUAL CONNECT or MANUAL DISCONNECT. See Low Voltage Disconnect on page 34.

Missing Hardware The SC200 has lost communication with a mapped I/O board or SiteSure-3G module. Or, an input or output is mapped to an invalid I/O board or SiteSure-3G module. See I/O Board Mapping on page 109.

MOV Fail One or more MOV cartridges have failed and must be replaced (indicated by an active digital input with Function set to "MOV Fail").

Multiple Rectifier Comms Lost

More than one rectifier has lost communications. See also Rectifier Comms Lost on page 98.

Multiple Rectifier Fail Multiple rectifiers are faulty or their ac supply has failed without causing partial or total ac supply failure.

Partial AC Fail A digital input with Function set to "Phase Fail" is active, or more than 20% of single-phase rectifiers are reporting ac supply failure, or all 3-phase rectifiers are reporting loss of the same phase.

Rectifier Comms Lost Normally this alarm indicates that a rectifier has been removed during routine maintenance. However, faulty rectifier communications or losing the rectifier communications bus can also trigger this alarm. If removing multiple rectifiers triggers this alarm, reset it from the keypad before it triggers an external alarm.

Rectifier Current Limit Rectifier(s) in current limit.

Rectifier Fail A rectifier is faulty or its ac supply has failed without causing partial or total ac supply failure.

Rectifier No Load The total rectifier current is less than 2% of the maximum system output current or is less than 2A.

Rectifier Over Temperature

Rectifier(s) operating in temperature turndown mode, because of high ambient temperature or low ac supply voltage.

Sensor Fail The current, temperature or voltage sensing system is faulty, or the I/O board mapping is incorrect.

Standby Mode The SC200 is on but inactive. Another system controller controls the dc power system. If the other system controller fails or is disconnected then the SC200 in Standby Mode will become active (after a short delay).

String Fail There is a voltage imbalance in one of the battery strings. See Battery Mid-point Monitoring on page 50.

Alarm Descriptions


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 99

System Overload The power system is operating close to its maximum capacity and more rectifiers are needed. The System Overload threshold is configurable. See System Overload Alarm on page 42.

Unknown Hardware The SC200 has detected an unknown type of device on the RXP bus. Contact your Eaton DC product supplier for advice.

SC200 Mappings


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011 109

A p p e n d i x E SC200 Mappings

The SC200 uses mappings to allow it to associate internal functions, alarms and physical I/O devices.

A default mapping is set at the factory before delivery. Usually this default mapping will not need to be changed.

I/O Board Mapping

The serial numbers of an I/O board and SiteSure-3G modules, and the physical connectors on the board/modules are mapped to logical numbers in the SC200. This allows the physical inputs and outputs (including LVD contactors) to be recognized by the SC200.

I/O Board serial number mapping

Each I/O board serial number must be mapped to a logical IOB Number.

Usually, I/O board serial number mappings only need to be changed if:

The I/O board is changed or added. See details on page 92.

The SC200 is changed and/or a new configuration file is loaded into the SC200. See details on page 92.

This mapping is not included in configuration files and must be set if an SC200 is changed or loaded with a new configuration file. Input/output, sensors and most voltage control processes are only available if this mapping is set.

► To map I/O boards

Either:

Use the SC200 keypad to go to: Settings > IOBs. The serial numbers of registered input/output boards are displayed.

Select an unmapped Input/Output board (identified as New). Press Enter. Identity information is displayed and the I/O board LED will flash.

Press Map and select an unused IOB Number (or one marked as Missing, if replacing an I/O board). Press Enter.

Or:

In DCTools/Web go to: Configuration > RXP

Copy the I/O board serial number(s) from the RXP Devices table to the I/O Board to Serial Number Mapping table to map an IOB Number to each I/O board (overwrite an existing serial number if required).

If multiple SiteSure-3G modules are installed use the I/O board Identify function to physically identify each board. See details on page 62.

SC200 Handbook


IPN 997-00012-50G May 2011

I/O connector mapping

Each I/O connector (analog input, digital input and digital output) on an I/O board must be mapped to a logical IOB Number and IOB AI, IOB DI or IOB DO Number.

► To map I/O connectors

See Analog Inputs on page 63, Digital Inputs on page 66 and Digital Outputs on page 67.

The following tables show the default connector mappings:
